PARIS COMMUNE 1871 – BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORKS IN ENGLISH
This is a work in progress – please contact me with corrections and suggested additions.
Its genesis lies in a list of material in my personal collection and a further list of works I was looking for,
hence the lack of some bibliographical details. As well as extending it through additions, I intend gradually
to add more comments to the items listed. I hope to extend it in the future to works in English by
Communards (fiction and non-fiction).
